DR Congo is accused of having recruited exiled rebel fighters and unleashed them on protesters calling for PresidentJoseph Kabila to step down. The damning report by Human Rights watch says M23 fighters contributed to deadly violence a year ago.

The UN's new deputy chief, AminaMohammed, has been accused of having taken kickbacks to authorise the export of rosewood to China before quitting as Nigeria's environment minister. Since her exit, the ban on exports has been lifted by her successor and trade in the endangered tree is likely to be further ramped up.

Congo in crisis
The Democratic Republic of Congo is in crisis. Violence is raging on in the Kasai region in the country's southwest. The violence erupted last August after government forces killed a tribal leader who had defied the government of PresidentJoseph Kabila. The Kamwina Nsapu militia then took up arms and began a bloody struggle against the government. The militia fighters are mainly made up of Luba people, an ethnic group living in the Kasai region. They started a rebellion against the central government and called for the expulsion of government forces from the region. The violence has sparked fears of a wider ethnic conflict in the region, which is rife with ethnic rivalry over rich mineral resources.
Sino-Indian tensions
Tensions between china and India are once again in the spotlight with the two sides digging their heels in over the Doklam region territorial dispute. To further compound the situation, China has held live fire drills near the disputed border region in the Himalayas. The exercises come after Beijing stepped up its warnings to Indian troops to get out of Doklam. Indian troops entered the region in June after New Delhi's ally, Bhutan, complained that a Chinese military construction group was building a road inside Bhutan's territory. Beijing says the border dispute has nothing to do with India. But New Delhi believes any construction would have serious security implications for India. New Delhi and Beijing are members of BRICS group of nations which also include Russia, Brazil and South Africa. But there has been no effort by the developing economies to resolve the dispute between china and India.

The UN force in Democratic Republic of Congo pays tribute to troops who were killed last week, in the peacekeepers' biggest single loss in nearly a quarter of a century. IMAGES

The Congolese Civil Wars, which began in 1996, brought about the end of Mobutu Sese Seko's 31-year reign and devastated the country. The wars ultimately involved nine African nations, multiple groups of UN peacekeepers and twenty armed groups, and resulted in the deaths of 5.4 million people.

Democratic republic

A democratic republic is, strictly speaking, a country that is both a republic and a democracy. It is one where ultimate authority and power is derived from the citizens, and the government itself is run through elected officials.

Biography

Early life and education

Joseph Kabila Kabange was born on 4 June 1971 at Hewabora, a small village in the Fizi territory of the South Kivu province, in eastern Congo. He is the son of long time rebel, former AFDL leader and president of the Congo Laurent-Désiré Kabila and Sifa Mahanya.

In tonight's edition: protests turn violent in Kinshasa, Bama in northeastern Nigeria is now a ghost town and people living on the islands of Guinea Bissau are feeling the bite of the anti-venom crisis.
At least 11 people are killed as security forces fire on crowds protesting in Democratic Republic of Congo. PresidentJoseph Kabila’s refusal to leave office at the end of his mandate has sparked violence and deepened the political critics.
Also, the houses are burnt-out shells, and charred cars and petrol pumps line the roads in the once-bustling Nigerian trade hub of Bama, which has been razed by Boko Haram jihadists.
And many communities in Guinea Bissau live in constant danger of bites from venomous snakes, but a shortage in anti-venom is costing lives. Across the continent, nearly one million people are bitten by the reptiles every year and the scarcity of antidotes contributes to the deaths of more than 20,000 victims.

Nearly 15 years after the deadly eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano and four years after the M23 rebel offensive, Goma is still tending its wounds. Amid uneven reconstruction efforts, the stability of the largest city in eastern DR Congo remains fragile. Mehdi Meddeb and Maxime Souville report.
The volcanoes are one side, LakeKivu on the other. Today sees a fragile peace, while yesterday bore witness to war and insurgencies. Goma, it seems, is used to extremes. Bustling with construction work, the capital of North Kivu province, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is a city living on the edge. Goma faces multiple threats: an active volcano, a potential gas explosion under Lake Kivu, ethnic conflicts and political tensions. Moreover, with President Kabila’s mandate due to officially expire on Monday December 19, there is concern for the future.
Goma remains calm but tense. The city seems desperate to cling to peace, after so many years of insurgencies, forced exoduses, cholera epidemics and refugee influxes, which have all profoundly destabilised a region of strategic importance for Africa’s Great Lakes.

In tonight's edition: DR Congo is accused of having recruited exiled M23 rebel fighters and unleashed them on protesters a year ago, and Zimbabwe's new president hands top cabinet posts to military figures who staged the intervention that forced Robert Mugabe's resignation after 37 years at the helm. Finally, a lifting of the ban of Nigeria's rosewood tree trade threatens these endangered tree species.
DR Congo is accused of having recruited exiled rebel fighters and unleashed them on protesters calling for PresidentJoseph Kabila to step down. The damning report by Human Rights watch says M23 fighters contributed to deadly violence a year ago.
And Zimbabwe's new president hands top cabinet posts to military figures who staged the intervention that forced Robert Mugabe's resignation after 37 years at the helm. Emmerson Mnangagwa says he's sure his new team can bring the change so many Zimbabweans hope for.
The UN's new deputy chief, AminaMohammed, has been accused of having taken kickbacks to authorise the export of rosewood to China before quitting as Nigeria's environment minister. Since her exit, the ban on exports has been lifted by her successor and trade in the endangered tree is likely to be further ramped up.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. It covers an area the size of Western Europe, but has only 1,250 miles of paved road. Naturally, one of the only ways to travel from place to place or to transport goods across the country is by air. Many of the most daring and dangerous pilots in the DRC are Russian. VICE News travels to Goma to meet these Russian expats, and learns what it's like to be a pilot in a country where, in the sky, almost anything goes.

These are the headlines we are tracking for you in this episode of On the News Line:
Congo in crisis
The Democratic Republic of Congo is in crisis. Violence is raging on in the Kasai region in the country's southwest. The violence erupted last August after government forces killed a tribal leader who had defied the government of PresidentJoseph Kabila. The Kamwina Nsapu militia then took up arms and began a bloody struggle against the government. The militia fighters are mainly made up of Luba people, an ethnic group living in the Kasai region. They started a rebellion against the central government and called for the expulsion of government forces from the region. The violence has sparked fears of a wider ethnic conflict in the region, which is rife with ethnic rivalry over rich mineral resources.
Sino-Indian tensions
Tensions between china and India are once again in the spotlight with the two sides digging their heels in over the Doklam region territorial dispute. To further compound the situation, China has held live fire drills near the disputed border region in the Himalayas. The exercises come after Beijing stepped up its warnings to Indian troops to get out of Doklam. Indian troops entered the region in June after New Delhi's ally, Bhutan, complained that a Chinese military construction group was building a road inside Bhutan's territory. Beijing says the border dispute has nothing to do with India. But New Delhi believes any construction would have serious security implications for India. New Delhi and Beijing are members of BRICS group of nations which also include Russia, Brazil and South Africa. But there has been no effort by the developing economies to resolve the dispute between china and India.

In tonight's edition: protests turn violent in Kinshasa, Bama in northeastern Nigeria is now a ghost town and people living on the islands of Guinea Bissau are feeling the bite of the anti-venom crisis.
At least 11 people are killed as security forces fire on crowds protesting in Democratic Republic of Congo. PresidentJoseph Kabila’s refusal to leave office at the end of his mandate has sparked violence and deepened the political critics.
Also, the houses are burnt-out shells, and charred cars and petrol pumps line the roads in the once-bustling Nigerian trade hub of Bama, which has been razed by Boko Haram jihadists.
And many communities in Guinea Bissau live in constant danger of bites from venomous snakes, but a shortage in anti-venom is costing lives. Across the continent, nearly one million people are bitten by the reptiles every year and the scarcity of antidotes contributes to the deaths of more than 20,000 victims.

Nearly 15 years after the deadly eruption of the Nyiragongo volcano and four years after the M23 rebel offensive, Goma is still tending its wounds. Amid uneven reconstruction efforts, the stability of the largest city in eastern DR Congo remains fragile. Mehdi Meddeb and Maxime Souville report.
The volcanoes are one side, LakeKivu on the other. Today sees a fragile peace, while yesterday bore witness to war and insurgencies. Goma, it seems, is used to extremes. Bustling with construction work, the capital of North Kivu province, in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is a city living on the edge. Goma faces multiple threats: an active volcano, a potential gas explosion under Lake Kivu, ethnic conflicts and political tensions. Moreover, with President Kabila’s mandate due to officially expire on Monday December 19, there is concern for the future.
Goma remains calm but tense. The city seems desperate to cling to peace, after so many years of insurgencies, forced exoduses, cholera epidemics and refugee influxes, which have all profoundly destabilised a region of strategic importance for Africa’s Great Lakes.

Driving through the Republic of Congo

After finally receiving my scooter in Franceville, Gabon I made the trip towards the Congo. But again, it wasn't without any lack of drama. I had two flat tires before I even made it to the border. I was planning on hitting the sand road of the Congo by about 8am, but with the flats, and the fact I was in the middle of nowhere, I didn't hit the sand until about 1030.
The sand road in the Congo was absolutely grueling. There were so many times driving the road towards Oyo that I just about quit and set up at the side of the road to sleep for the night. Following the sand day I crashed at the house of a Lebanese expat for the night and pushed on to Brazzaville.
Two days later, and I arrive at the outskirts of Brazzaville, Congo. But my visa expires today, so what will I do? Stay tuned....

25 Most Dangerous Places To Visit As A Tourist

While some places are on this list due to armed conflicts and violence, other places are on the list thanks to physical or biological calamities. Regardless of the reasons, the one thing all of these places have in common is that most western governments do not advise travel to them unless it is absolutely necessary. These are the 25 most dangerous places to visit as a tourist. Also, before we continue, just remember, being on this list doesn't necessarily mean the entire country is bad to visit (although it can). Just make sure to check on regional travel warnings.

Crossing Congo

It is a deep dive into the heartland of Africa, into the mysterious Democratic Republic of Congo. A dream of many backpackers and often cited as a dangerous country to travel. Moving from A to B in the DRC is an adventure for outsiders and still challenge for locals and not everything is true about what comes into your mind for Congo. Yes, it still struggles for peace in its eastern region. The UN and other organizations trying to stabilize and support the country and as many refugees from other countries flood over the border, it is a challenge to be faced here. Despite all these efforts, for me Congo resembles still an authentic and real Africa off the beaten track. Rarely a visitor crosses into the DRC and while in Congo for little bit over three weeks, I only met two other travelers - ...

The Time I Almost Died in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)

Processing this video was actually really hard for me. I know that there isn't much footage, so I'm sure it doesn't have the same effect on you as it does for me. But looking back at the state I was during this video I go from a low to a high.
I nearly died in the DRC, a woman named Mama Bridgette saved me and brought me to a hospital, and I don't remember that since I was passed out. She stayed with me, fed me, and made sure I was ok the whole time. She was really amazing. Without her, there's a good chance I would have died that day.
From there I hit Kinshasa, a town that scared me. I felt abused and paranoid at every turn. It really was a low point for me. I nearly quit here so many times.
Then, arriving in Zambia, was such a high. My god, it nearly brought me to tears seeing...

Processing this video was actually really hard for me. I know that there isn't much footage, so I'm sure it doesn't have the same effect on you as it does for me. But looking back at the state I was during this video I go from a low to a high.
I nearly died in the DRC, a woman named Mama Bridgette saved me and brought me to a hospital, and I don't remember that since I was passed out. She stayed with me, fed me, and made sure I was ok the whole time. She was really amazing. Without her, there's a good chance I would have died that day.
From there I hit Kinshasa, a town that scared me. I felt abused and paranoid at every turn. It really was a low point for me. I nearly quit here so many times.
Then, arriving in Zambia, was such a high. My god, it nearly brought me to tears seeing the video again. I just felt such a feeling of accomplishment when I got there. I felt like I made it, like the worst was over. And looking back now, it really was.
Such an amazing adventure in Africa, and even though this is mostly just a video diary, for me it's so special to look back and see it all.

In tonight's edition: DR Congo is accused of having recruited exiled M23 rebel fighters and unleashed them on protesters a year ago, and Zimbabwe's new president hands top cabinet posts to military figures who staged the intervention that forced Robert Mugabe's resignation after 37 years at the helm. Finally, a lifting of the ban of Nigeria's rosewood tree trade threatens these endangered tree species.
DR Congo is accused of having recruited exiled rebel fighters and unleashed them on protesters calling for PresidentJoseph Kabila to step down. The damning report by Human Rights watch says M23 fighters contributed to deadly violence a year ago.
And Zimbabwe's new president hands top cabinet posts to military figures who staged the intervention that forced Robert Mugabe's resignation after 37 years at the helm. Emmerson Mnangagwa says he's sure his new team can bring the change so many Zimbabweans hope for.
The UN's new deputy chief, AminaMohammed, has been accused of having taken kickbacks to authorise the export of rosewood to China before quitting as Nigeria's environment minister. Since her exit, the ban on exports has been lifted by her successor and trade in the endangered tree is likely to be further ramped up.

Russian Pilots of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. It covers an area the size of Western Europe, but has only 1,250 miles of paved road. Naturally, one of the only ways to travel from place to place or to transport goods across the country is by air. Many of the most daring and dangerous pilots in the DRC are Russian. VICE News travels to Goma to meet these Russian expats, and learns what it's like to be a pilot in a country where, in the sky, almost anything goes.

On The News Line - Congo in crisis

These are the headlines we are tracking for you in this episode of On the News Line:
Congo in crisis
The Democratic Republic of Congo is in crisis. Violence is raging on in the Kasai region in the country's southwest. The violence erupted last August after government forces killed a tribal leader who had defied the government of PresidentJoseph Kabila. The Kamwina Nsapu militia then took up arms and began a bloody struggle against the government. The militia fighters are mainly made up of Luba people, an ethnic group living in the Kasai region. They started a rebellion against the central government and called for the expulsion of government forces from the region. The violence has sparked fears of a wider ethnic conflict in the region, which is rife with ethnic rivalry over rich mineral resources.
Sino-Indian tensions
Tensions between china and India are once again in the spotlight with the two sides digging their heels in over the Doklam region territorial dispute. To further compound the situation, China has held live fire drills near the disputed border region in the Himalayas. The exercises come after Beijing stepped up its warnings to Indian troops to get out of Doklam. Indian troops entered the region in June after New Delhi's ally, Bhutan, complained that a Chinese military construction group was building a road inside Bhutan's territory. Beijing says the border dispute has nothing to do with India. But New Delhi believes any construction would have serious security implications for India. New Delhi and Beijing are members of BRICS group of nations which also include Russia, Brazil and South Africa. But there has been no effort by the developing economies to resolve the dispute between china and India.

In tonight's edition: protests turn violent in Kinshasa, Bama in northeastern Nigeria is now a ghost town and people living on the islands of Guinea Bissau are feeling the bite of the anti-venom crisis.
At least 11 people are killed as security forces fire on crowds protesting in Democratic Republic of Congo. PresidentJoseph Kabila’s refusal to leave office at the end of his mandate has sparked violence and deepened the political critics.
Also, the houses are burnt-out shells, and charred cars and petrol pumps line the roads in the once-bustling Nigerian trade hub of Bama, which has been razed by Boko Haram jihadists.
And many communities in Guinea Bissau live in constant danger of bites from venomous snakes, but a shortage in anti-venom is costing lives. Across the continent, nearly one million people are bitten by the reptiles every year and the scarcity of antidotes contributes to the deaths of more than 20,000 victims.

Driving through the Republic of Congo

After finally receiving my scooter in Franceville, Gabon I made the trip towards the Congo. But again, it wasn't without any lack of drama. I had two flat tires before I even made it to the border. I was planning on hitting the sand road of the Congo by about 8am, but with the flats, and the fact I was in the middle of nowhere, I didn't hit the sand until about 1030.
The sand road in the Congo was absolutely grueling. There were so many times driving the road towards Oyo that I just about quit and set up at the side of the road to sleep for the night. Following the sand day I crashed at the house of a Lebanese expat for the night and pushed on to Brazzaville.
Two days later, and I arrive at the outskirts of Brazzaville, Congo. But my visa expires today, so what will I do? Stay tuned.
